He’s put his drive in the deep rough there - difficult 2nd shot coming up.

Inspired by Arbboy’s posts on the darts thread, what are the earliest sporting memories you have? Here are mine.

1982 FA Cup Final - as a QPR fan this is obv huge. I was 7 years old, watched the final on TV (1-1 draw v Spurs). Then MY DAD GOT US TICKETS FOR THE REPLAY. Awesome, though sadly my only memory from that night was Glenn Hoddle’s penalty.

1982 World Cup - I’m sure I watched loads of it but the first bit that sticks in the mind was the Brazil-Italy semi final (best football game ever?). I was filling in my Ladybird World Cup 1982 book through the tournament.

1983 Darts final - Bristow v Deller. As Arbboy said an absolute classic. I can’t remember any other darts from the decade but this always stuck in my mind.
 
1984 Olympics - not a specific event, but the end of tournament round up set to Gold by Spandau Ballet.

Not sure what year this was and not going to Google but there was one year I came home from school and the Cheltenham Gold Cup was delayed because of snow or hail. No idea about the horses or anything, just remember the weather delay.

What are yours?

I’ve been obsessed with watching this all day - even with no shares myself I’m really rooting for these guys to crush the shorties.

Hola from sunny Lanzarote.

I came out here just before Christmas when Lanzarote was basking in the cooling glow of green status. Sitting outside drinking in the sun was glorious.

Why don't you check out this graph of how things have gone since.

It's a really interesting story that I wasn't previously aware of but Don't fuck with cats is a pretty annoying documentary. One episode ends with us, the viewer, finding out something and then the entire next episode is interviews with police officers as they slowly work their way to learning what we already know.

Also, as Bergeroo said, the keyboard warriors were super annoying as well.

Is this stuff being used for anything yet or is it still just tulips?

Betfair finally settled their election markets!

That's the real quiz.

I notice that, in order to get everyone round before dark, some groups are starting from the 10th tee. Surely this must be a disadvantage - the 10th is averaging 4.31, making it the toughest hole on the course and then it's Amen Corner.

Assuming the groups swap round tomorrow I guess there might be value in Day 1 leaders from those who start today on the 1st, and then value bets tomorrow on those who start from 10 today.

We can't have any mention of Ben Carson without some images from his house.

First, the bible quote that is chiselled into his wall, from the book of 'poverbs'.

Secondly, the painting of Ben just chilling out with his good buddy Jesus.

You have to love the idea that the Democrats are able to run this sophisticated election rigging operation and yet, in an election where they are forecast to win the Senate, manage to rig it so that they don't win the Senate.

If anyone literally wants to pick money off the street then Joe Biden is 1.17 to win the popular vote on Betfair. Hillary got 68m to Trumps’s 65m last time and, really, how is Biden going to let a 3m vote headstart slip when he’s not hated like Hillary and everyone knows what Trump is like now. There’s very few undecided voters to break Trump’s way this time and Biden is currently 9% up in the polls.

Trump can’t even get this bet beat by stealing it in the Supreme Court as Betfair settle it on how CNN call it.

Anyone who is still friendly with Denise can get 1/6 (1.166 without the commission) so fill your boots.

Maureen this is just the most awful news - thinking of all of you right now.

He's odds-on on Betfair right now.

Usually there'd be no chance - they'd give him some other award or something but there may not being an issue with giving SPOTY to someone for non-sporting reasons in a year when there has been absolutely sod all sport.

Ireland's government has agreed to return the country to the highest level of coronavirus restrictions for six weeks from midnight on Wednesday. So Irish politicians’ defiance of scientific advisers last 10 days. Let’s see how long Mr Johnson holds put.

It also means I’m going to have to get up early tomorrow to get to the barbers when they open as it’ll be my last chance of a haircut till nearly Christmas.
